Doug, I am in the same boat you are in, I too have the Nikon 8700 and am not the happiest camper in the world with it. I was gung ho Nikon until I actually became familiar with this camera. Yes I have a hard time catching anything in motion and yes the manual settings are hard to navigate if not damned impossible!!! I am looking at the Canon 20D! I recently spoke with a professional photographer that went totally digital, he owns the 20D and a few 1D's. He said that he gave up his Nikon system, had actually owned a Nikon D-SLR and was disappointed with it. He also stated that he gets "true color" from the Canon. I was seriously going to purchase a Nikon D-SLR until I talked to this man, now I am afraid that I am leaning towards the Canon line, I am going to wait until this spring to make my purchase. Brenda :) P.S. I have an FTBn and an AE1 and I just can't beat them!
